Always use all of a merge lane to merge – this gives you time to get up to speed and find a safe gap to merge like a zip. Merge lanes taper to naturally guide you into the flow of traffic. When you're merging, always merge at the end of the merge lane. Using all the merge lane: • gives you time to smoothly match the speed of people travelling on the road • gives you a predictable point to enter the road, so everyone around you knows what you're doing and can make room for you to merge like a zip

Use all the lane to merge when roadworks ahead are reducing the number of lanes. This person does it perfectly. We lay out cones to smoothly taper lanes so there’s one point where lanes merge. Merging at the point where lanes taper gives everyone a predictable point to merge like a zip. If you merge randomly earlier than the merge point, people have to unpredictably brake to let you in – and unpredictable braking causes traffic to build up. “Merging like a zip” is where a vehicle from the merge

Always use all of a merge lane to merge – this gives you time to get up to speed and find a safe gap to merge like a zip. In this example, the person merges too early and cuts in front of a person on the main road. The person on the main road now suddenly finds themselves tailgating the person who merged. This isn't a safe merge. The person merging could've used the rest of the merge lane to get up to speed and leave a safe gap to the person on the main road. Merge lanes taper to naturally guide
